The Meta is confident and composed in some situations, but uncomfortable, twitchy and jarring in others. Buy if you're a lighter, shorter rider looking for a hardtail capable of taming big descents – but try it out first
Supple-feeling fork swallows bumps
Dropper post as standard
Fork’s lack of support makes it a liability in the bends
Heavy weight hinders climbing
Cramped frame has a nervous feel on the descents
Reliability issues with our dropper

Has Commençal created the ultimate hardtail? Nine months’ gestation and Roo reveals all
The RockShox Revelation fork — it felt stiff enough and performed flawlessly throughout the test.
Swapping to some Michelin Wild Rock’R 2 tyres, when the bike then came alive.
Some of the last, late summer rides on the Meta HT after the three key spec changes were implemented — I felt every bit as confident hitting the same stuff I’d been riding on my full-suspension trail bike.
The first few rides when the Formula brakes started rubbing on the discs and eventually dragged me and the bike to a halt.
Any misjudged landings where you feel the lack of compliance in the rear end.
In fact, spot a rock on the landing of a jump and you’d better have an inner tube
In your pack.
Getting used to a 100mm dropper after being spoilt by a 150mm.
